$ IN THE QUEST TO LOSE FAT, GAIN MUSCLE AND INCREASE STAMINA Chef Sharon Experiments With Known Methods To Draw Her Own Conclusions – includes reduced-fat and fat-free recipes with lots of motivational insights.

Although the rice when cooked in plain water cooks up in 30 minutes, any time you add seasonings such as the ones we added here, it interferes somewhat in the absorption process and takes a little longer.

Chili > Don’t start cooking till all the veggies are in the pot.

4 c. DUNBAR’S Sweet Bell Pepper Mixed Strips plus a little liquid from the can – we’re keeping the strips whole to introduce a different cut for chili

5 c. GORDON CHOICE Sliced Stewed Tomatoes including some of the liquid from can – whatever liquid comes up into the measuring cup when you dip to measure the tomato slices plus about 1/2 c. more of the liquid – transfer to large bowl and cut slices into smaller pieces – so they distribute evenly through the chili

Notes > The oatmeal needs to be cooked separately, otherwise it won’t soften uniformly. Oatmeal is used to smooth the broth and bring all the ingredients together. It works like a charm.

Africans eat crickets, so in an effort to increase their exports the USA has agreed to buy their cricket products – products that you have no say in. Hey, a cricket is a cricket, much like a cockroach. Only crickets sing, loud and clear, and this chef is hearing their song. Being animal-free, and being that crickets are animals with faces, I’m supplying ahead of the onslaught a remedy for the Africans who still want to eat cricket upon arriving in their streets paved with gold country of choice.

An alternative to cricket > Hibiscus. Some guy on a Food Network show said they were sweet. Africans in Africa cook them alive, like we cook lobster. I wonder why we don’t cook shrimp alive or maybe we do, I just never saw it done. The Asians probably do.

On another Food Network show, one of the mystery ingredients was cricket flour. One of the judges said she tried it and liked it. It’s called Back To Your Roots Indoctrination. They’re a global show and they claim Africans watch the show too – accompanied by a ‘shouldn’t we feel sorry for them’ type of facial and voice gesturing. The government through the Food Network seeks to keep your mind on the past so you don’t make any changes in tastes to upset their happy money arrangement with the slaughter industries. Crickets are now on the menu.

And the Animal-Free Chef is right there with them presenting an alternative to the cricket. We just add a little sweet and it’s done.

That’s all ya got? Crickets? Where’s the ingenuity there? Cricket flour? Really? With all the natural resources and plant life on continental Africa, you try to sell us crickets? The answer is NO. Animal-Free crickets is what you get.

Plants. The future is plants. The NOW is plants. You’re not thinking. How many plants do humans cultivate? Not many in comparison to the number that exist. And a lot of them exist in Africa. Huge. Huge.

If you want to help your continent to stop the scam mentality… Crickets?

Plants. A multitude of plants.

Open your eyes and see what is around you. What happened to your vision?
